Here we go again? Salary cap issues?

I gather you're not a big fan of Barry, DS?

Feej, It’s coming out as an unnecessary f**k up by him. So far he’s done nothing for the Club.

Previous administration delivered a Premiership. They put their own money to keep the Club afloat.

So far he’s dragged us through the mud unesssarily. Jury is out on him for sure.

You don’t think I have a point?

Yes Carch the same bloke who tipped 1million plus of his own money to keep the Club afloat during the ASADA episode. Fancy that.

Just because he got caught doing the white stuff doesn’t mean in discredits the work he was doing at the Sharks. All Barry had to do was raise the issue with the previous regime and it could’ve been sorted.

But now guess what even if we get cleared mud still sticks and we are a harder Club to market to Companies for jersey sponsorship. Thanks for dragging the Club through this shyte unnecessarily Barry.

Put your effort into bringing money into the joint you clown.

So you think it’s unfair to attack Keogh for his mistake because he’s put in a lot of hard work and made personal sacrifices to help keep us from folding?

... How did UNITY get voted in again?

Matter for you ds, but I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt until we hear about sanctions from the nrl.

The club comes before anyone, past players, and admin included. It’s likely in my mind that Barry saw danger and wanted to avoid a parramatta episode. Remember the nrl are getting increasingly agitated about breaches and there was an apparent ‘line in the sand’ after parra. Of course we don’t know if he jumped at shadows or not but I’m not going to go off like a frog in a sock until this plays out.

“Like a frog in a sock.”

That made me laugh.

Are you calling me a clown or Barry?

Think about that head line.

DS, you make a compelling argument about Barry. I believe our Club is in a no win situation. Have a look at the epic over top exaggeration media reporting when we self reported to the NRL.

Imagine for a moment that we were caught - impossible to think, but the outrage in the media would be far worse.

I think our club has been through enough media saga's for a life time. On that basis, I can understand why he reported upfront.

Here's hoping that we don't have this situation again.

I’m not condoning drugs Carch but to label Damien Keogh are drug addict is not cool.

He did the wrong thing but anyone who puts in a million plus dollars of their own money into the Club to keep it alive is a bloody legend to me.

I’m not labelling him a drug addict but I bet my arse the bloody news paper would.

Asking the NRL to check it is WAY better than asking the bloke who got sacked for drugs don’t you think?

I think he’s being paid interest.

If he is he’s not getting nothing out of it.

Yeah sure but it wouldn’t of hurt to give Keogh a call first and suss things out and maybe nip it in the bud.

If he wasn’t satisfied then take it further.

Anyway this is the last I’ll be talking about the matter I’m just focusing on watching the Sharks win a Premiership now.

That’s the best way to stick it up everyone.

"Initially supposed reports of potential questions, unconfirmed" aka standard Fox/News 'scoops'. Murdoch's motivation is profit and power, not information and integrity. Meh.
 

Frenzy.

Damian Keogh has been quoted in saying why didn’t they call me to clear up anything instead of running off to the NRL.

Seriously not impressed with Barry Russell at the moment.

Hey Barry how about working on getting money into the Club rather dragging the Club into the mud with your stupidity!

Clown.

I doubt he acted unilaterally and I doubt this wasn’t a calculated move.

Do you think Bazza went out on a limb without the whole executive structure knowing?

I highly doubt that.
